Favourite music of 2011

[Mittopotahis]

2011 felt like a bit of a let-down for me when it comes to music. Possibly just in comparison to '09 and '10, we had some great albums those years.

My 2011 favourites:
- Burst Apart - The Antlers I have a personal motto: The sadder the music, the better. This album has a song about a couple dying in a house fire. Therefore, it is brilliant. Honestly, just amazing song writing and feels like nothing else realised this year and for a while.
- Odd Soul - Mutemath Liked these guys since album one, but this is by far their best effort. Taking a bit more of a Black Keys sound, it just really works for them. Plus, they are such good musicians! dat drumma.
- Bon Iver, Bon Iver - Bon Iver Not as good as For Emma, Forever Ago. But Justin Vernon is one of the best songwriters of the 21st century.
- Skying - The Horrors Not much to say about this one but that it is a frigging good album.
- Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes Not even much of a Fleet Foxes fan, but man, you'd have to be dead to not appreciate those harmonies. Each song is really unique in it's own way, they really surprised me with this one. Grower of the year.
- Making Mirrors - Gotye When this guy gets a song right, he gets it right. A few utterly marvellous songs on the album, a few good ones and a few below par. Like Drawing Blood is better.
